Senators Silent After Meeting With FBI Director Comey
rollcall.com ^ | 2/17/17 | Niels Lesniewski/Bridget Bowman

Not much can get between senators and a recess. Except, perhaps, FBI Director James B. Comey.

Members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, along with ex-officio member and Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, huddled for a total of more than two hours on Friday with Comey.

The FBI director’s visit was not announced publicly, and it’s possible members of the Capitol Hill press corps only found out because he was spotted in the hallways and entered a secure room used for intelligence briefings.

But leaving that secure room in the Capitol Visitor Center, senators declined to even confirm the presence of the FBI director, much less the substance of the meeting. Those who did talk generally only gave “no comments” or referred questions to Intelligence Chairman Richard M. Burr and ranking member Mark Warner.

I’m betting on this as the reason for the hush-hush meet. And this thread is going to grow some legs.

Very suspicious how THAT STORY is being suppressed.

Jarett is tied to them.

Rubio’s pal Liz Mair ? ran pacs to run down DJT. I suspect Rubio is on retainer against his will, he sure ain’t one of the boys. When DJT gushes over someone publicly, you should read it as him placing a red carnation in someone’s buttonhole on their jacket pocket.

Odd about Rubio’tweet. Obviously he wants the world to know. I wonder why.

None of this is about "Russian" anything. That's all smokescreen.

I don’t believe that. But stranger things have happened.

So many good things could come of this, the Swamp is outed, McCain could be outed, Hillary could be charged....

Others are thinking it’s negative to Trump and that’s why he had the presser and went to Florida. I think he did those things to keep the press twisted in knots and rally the base.

I agree that this is not about Russia in reality. It is about impeachment. The uniparty and the deep state are making their move.

Please remember who decided to keep Comey, when he could have easily and lawfully replaced him.

That'sright. President Trump.

My dad was a gunners mate on the dd442 Nicholson. They served in both theaters and he was at midway too.

It might mean they will be the next victim. I’m thinking of the movie v for vendetta.

Thanks, Mom. I suspected it might mean that, but wasn’t sure. I think you are right.

I’ve got an idea. Maybe my insomnia can talk to your insomnia; then the two of us can get some sleep! : )

Sessions has been pretty quiet of late so my sense is this is outside his knowledge.

Completely disagree. Sessions is "the dog that didn't bark." His silence speaks volumes; I would venture that the public silence is due to beneath-the-radar legal activity that is beyond intense right now. My guess is he's convening grand juries, indictments are coming down, and people are going to prison.

Explains the somber - even shaken - reaction to Comey.
